Procedure

A mixture of 7 g of 4-methoxy-2-nitrophenol, 50 ml of ethyl acetate and 1.3 g of 5% palladium on carbon was stirred under about one atmosphere of hydrogen at room temperature for 3.3 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite™. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 2-amino-4-methoxyphenol. This is used in the following reaction without purification.

Workup

  1. filtrationThe reaction mixture was filtered through Celite™
  2. concentrationThe filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure
